I just said it how I saw it. Rather than answer the question you attacked the people criticising the government for the mess the NHS is in. That is a literal ad hominem.
It was very far from clear what "the question" is. Tell me, where is it in the posts above? (I cannot see A-X's posts)
As far as your ad hominem comment is concerned, though - ironing, much? Given that pretty much the last page is just stuff about me and completely unbidden (this NHS discussion was weeks/months back) and point-scoring bollocks, have you even got a straight face here?
Understand, Myp, I have better things to do with my time than to indulge angry, bitter people, or people with an axe to grind with me personally as they (probably) see it, who appear to have precisely zero intent on having an actual debate or banter with me. I owe these people nothing.
Note this is not "not answering the question", notwithstanding the above comments about what "the question" is even supposed to be and where it's clearly asked - it's "keeping my sanity". I'm here for laughs and giggles, and maybe a bit of knockabout debate. That's it.

Do you honestly believe the government has done a good job wrt healthcare in the last 7 years? It's a simple question. And if so what do you think of the Red Cross comments and actions?
No, to answer your question above. But, clearly that's the bloody case, given that my
original argument and contention months ago was that the NHS, as an administered entity by the Tories (currently) as well as Labour before it, is far from an optimal, best performing bangs-per-buck proposition? I contend that a big part of why we're collectively where we are with healthcare in this country is very much to do with the inherent, metapolitical structure of the NHS
how it was originally conceived - and inherently IS - it is a LEGACY ISSUE, and therefore not something that the Tories or anyone else are going to solve by tinkering round with it. Hence I'm advocating wholesale, meaningful, absolute and root-and-branch reform, emulating the best that Europe has to offer. (I don't know what you mean by 'Red Cross comments')
But seriously, I am not re-running the debate yet again. I've made my views perfectly clear in posts way back now.
